Cursed In Glass – Marina Simcoe

“He could’ve at least dried his clothes before leaving,” Kye noted grumpily. “Now they’ll say I came unhinged again and tossed my uncle into the pool.” “Has that happened?” I asked. “Do you actually toss people into pools?” He shrugged. “Occasionally. But most do it themselves. Some run away. Others swim away. No one wants to stay here for long. Admit it, you would’ve flown away too, my pretty butterfly, if you had a choice.”

I would’ve if I could, but I didn’t admit it out loud. I didn’t want to bring him down again after the intense conversation he’d had with his uncle. “Did you argue about me?” I asked instead. He rubbed his chest, suppressing a sigh. “Oh, we argue about many things, my darling.

All we do is argue whenever he comes by, which is probably why he hates coming here.” “What do you argue about?” He waved a hand. “Everything, really. Arnon is the Prince Regent. He’s the one who’s currently wearing the proverbial Crown of Olathana. ‘Proverbial’ because I broke the actual crown, as has been prophesied,” he added slowly.

“In fact, I went even further than the prophecy said. I broke two crowns, my mother’s and my own.” “Why did you break it?” He paused his gaze on me, his lips pursed for a moment. A storm brewed in his eyes that made me instantly regret asking the question. “Because golden filigree is exceptionally fragile when turned to glass,” he finally said. “You touched it.” “That’s all it took,” he confirmed. “I kept my crown on the stand by my bed.

When I woke up that cursed morning, I took it from the stand to put it on my head like always did, and it shattered in my fingers. I had a splitting headache, a dry mouth, and a terrible hangover. Then I saw a glass statue in my bed, and realized it was the woman I spent the night with.”

That must’ve been awful. I covered my mouth with my hand, unable to comprehend the horror he must’ve felt. “I was terrified.

OceanofPDF.com OceanofPDF.com I Chapter 1 Kye tried to stay away from water, but it wasn’t easy for a couple of very important reasons. One, my palace stood on the coral reef Lyrei, in the middle of the ocean. Not only was it almost entirely surrounded by water, but every door and terrace here led out to the shore. And two, I was a siren. Water called to me, no matter how much I tried to stay away from it.

I lived in the vast, majestic Kingdom of Olathana. It was undoubtedly the most beautiful place in the whole of Nerifir, magical and perfect. The kingdom’s only blight was me, its cursed king. No matter how much time I spent by the water, I couldn’t do anything that sirens normally did in the ocean.

That was one of the many ill effects of my curse. The water no longer obeyed me as it should. Even my song was long lost. All I did while at the water’s edge was sit on a glass branch of the dead coral, stare out to the horizon, and bask in the sun like a fucking turtle. I dipped a foot into the waves below and felt only the faintest whisper of the connection I’d once had with the ocean.

The sun warmed my skin. The breeze played with my long hair. Those sensations were strong and clear, but the caress of water between my toes was muffled, reaching to me as if through a thick fog or a layer of dense wool.
